Re: Screen Readers For HP UX & AIX Operating Systems

Both of these are UNIX operating systems, so you will need to find a screen reader that works in UNIX. Unfortunately, that is probably outside of most of our experiences.

One suggestion you might try is contacting HP and IBM. There is likely to be some people at both businesses that might have some ideas of options that would work in UNIX--i9f there are any.

Another option is to use a terminal emulator to access the HP UX and IBM AIX systems. Basically, you use the terminal emulator to access these systems from a desktop or laptop computer. What this would allow you to do is to use a Windows, oSX, or Linux system with the appropriate screen reader for that operating system to access the HP and IBM systems. It should be possible to interact with the command line interface.

Thanks,
